EVALUATION OF THE WIDELY-USED EQUATIONS OF HYDRAULIC LOSS CALCULATION AND CALIBRATION OF THE HAZEN-WILLIAMS EQUATION IN DRIP IRRIGATION LATERALS by Sh. Shafaei, Gh. Zarei, K. Ebrahimi, Sh. Soleimani, M. Shamsi

“…In this case, the calculated hydraulic head loss is lower than the actual hydraulic head loss, and subsequently, the hydraulic pressure at the desired point will be lower than the required value. In other words, the output flow from the droppers will be reduced, and the water distribution uniformity will be less than expected. …”

Optimizing Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Performance Using Advanced Meta-Heuristic Algorithms by Siva Ram Rajeyyagari, Srinivas Nowduri

“…Our approach utilizes a Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network trained with experimental data encompassing five input parameters: oxygen concentration, operating temperature, instrumentation, electrolyte thickness, and electrical current, with the goal of optimizing the single output parameter of power. The main novelty of this work lies in the application of six meta-heuristic algorithms for optimizing the weights and biases of the trained RBF network. …”

Spatiotemporal air quality prediction using stochastic advection–diffusion model for multimodal data fusion by Byeongseong Choi, Michelle A Hummel

“…We employ a variational inference method to calibrate the probabilistic model using ground-level observations and the numerical output of two simulation models. We then evaluate the prediction performance of our model for two scenarios: (1) incorporating simulation outputs and ground-level observations from sparse regulatory-grade stations and (2) using ground-level observations from both low-cost and regulatory-grade stations. …”

TCAD analysis of the high-temperature reverse-bias stress on AlGaN/GaN HEMTs by Franco Ercolano, Luigi Balestra, Sebastian Krause, Stefano Leone, Isabel Streicher, Patrik Waltereit, Michael Dammann, Susanna Reggiani

“…Before investigating the device behavior under high-temperature reverse-bias (HTRB) conditions, a fine tuning of the TCAD simulation setup was conducted by benchmarking against measured transfer, input, and output characteristics. This calibration step ensured an accurate representation of the device electrical performance, serving as a solid foundation for further TCAD stress analysis. …”
